The gist of it is that a Battle Pass has various levels that you will up by completing tasks in the game, sometimes just as simple as playing the game normally, although usually with a focus on some kind of seasonal content. If you’ve never encountered a Battle Pass before in any game, the gist of it - and why game developers seemingly love them - is that they simultaneously function as a game engagement mechanic and, sometimes, a moneymaker. Overwatch 2 has a Battle Pass, Hearthstone has multiple Battle Passes, Diablo Immortal has a Battle Pass, World of Warcraft has its own Battle Pass-lite now in the form of the Traveler’s Log to earn Trader’s Tender, and we even learned from the May 2023 Diablo 4 Developer Update live stream that Diablo 4 is going to have a Battle Pass, albeit one that lasts a whole season. While the concept of Battle Passes may have originated in DOTA 2 and spread like wildfire among mobile gacha games, it’s no secret that Blizzard seemingly loves the idea of them for their own games as well.
